The South Course at Mauna Lani Resort, Hawaii
Download the PDF here. (Only current month PDF available)
Mauna Lani’s South Course is one of the most fun courses in the state. The course boasts two strings of glorious ocean holes (including the postcard-perfect par-3 13th) amidst a rolling, emerald green layout cut through the signature black lava of the Big Island’s Kohala Coast. It’ll cost you a few nickles, but I’ve encountered nothing but smiles on the course, even from golfers who have just dropped one into the Pacific. With perennial sunshine, warm breezes, and picturesque, compelling golf, Mauna Lani’s South Course is a must-play on the Big Island.

Poipu Bay Golf Course, Kauai, Hawaii

Located on the glorious sunny side of Kauai, an island with frequent rains, Poipu Bay is a picturesque and challenging Robert Trent Jones, Jr design. The tradewinds keep players honest here, though the final four holes play straight downwind and are a wonderful way to finish the round.
Phil Mickelson once shot a 59 here to win the Grand Slam of Golf, a tournament in which only the winners of each major are invited to play (unless Tiger won more than one that year, or simply is too, uh, busy to bother playing).
If you’re headed to Kauai, don’t miss this course. It’s one of Hawaii’s best.

Kapalua Plantation Course, Maui, Hawaii golf
Download the PDF here. (Only current month PDF available)
Last month, I said that Wailea just might have the best golf on Maui. Well, while that may be true, Kapalua gives them a run for their nassau. Wailea has an extra course and, usually, better weather, but Kapalua has the Plantation Course. This bruiser is simply bad-a$$. It’s long, it has giant greens, relentless winds, wonderful views…truly it is the apex of golf in Hawaii.
It may not be for the faint of heart, but it’s perfect for the Golf Fanatic!
